Organisation

The Rotsee is one of the fairest regatta courses in the world and looks back on a long tradition in international rowing. Lucerne has already hosted several world championships – most recently in 2001 – and is building on this significant history with the 2027 World Rowing Championships.

With the annual Lucerne Regatta, the World Rowing Cup and Olympic and Paralympic qualifying regattas, Lucerne is now firmly anchored in the international racing calendar and plays a central role in global rowing.

The 2027 World Rowing Championships combine top sporting performance with international appeal and a lasting impact for the region, sport and society.
